Not having FB when the rest of your circle (family, friends, ect.) have one draws a lot of attention particularly if you have any documents back ground in IT (kind of hard to explain your lack of social media and computer use when your undergrad degree in information technology is sitting on the university website). The idea is to have social media but be very strict about what you put out there and keep in mind that nothing is 100% locked down or able to be 100% deleted.

Yes, not having a social media profile can set you apart unless you're an 80 year old grandmother (I'm guessing the algos have age considered). So have your FB profile, but assume anything you post can be seen by anyone at any time. Or, just post a bunch of disinfo, or contradictory info to make it interesting.
